SPEED of TRUST

“Leading at the SPEED of TRUST” practices significantly lower costs and increase speed, profits, and influence. In this fast-paced and
engaging presentation, Greg Link dramatically demonstrates the leadership benefits of TRUST from the informed perspective of a CEO and teaches how to establish and grow a high-trust, high-performance organization.
TRUST, more important than VISION, you ask? Yes! No matter how grand a vision, the high cost of low trust can prevent you from reaching
it profitably.
TRUST, more important than STRATEGY? Yes! While high trust can‘t make a poor strategy succeed, the high cost of low trust can derail an otherwise great strategy.
TRUST, more important than SYSTEMS and STRUCTURE? Yes! No degree of re-engineering and quality control can overcome the sabotage
and tax of a low trust culture.
TRUST, more important than SKILLS? Yes! No matter how skilled a group, the high cost of low trust can disrupt their potential success.
Nothing repels talent like a high control, low trust workplace.
We call it the “SPEED of TRUST®.” Leading at the SPEED of TRUST is both more financially rewarding AND just plain fun and energizing.
